The City Ghettos of Today: Bologna residency 24th June- 6th July 2014

The Bologna residency focused on various forms of camps for migrants and political refugees located in Italy, Europe and Africa. Project interviews focused on an Afghan camp in Patras, a refugee camp on the borders of Sierra Leone, a center for identification and expulsion (C.I.E.) in Bologna, and on a prison in Libya. The methodological hypothesis was to listen to those who had lived in such contexts, and through the reflection and analysis of anthropologists, sociologists, political geographers in dialogue with artists, to deconstruct those structures into constituent elements, with particular attention to categories "similar" to those of narratology (eg characters that act, typical dynamics, types of conflicts, structures of life experiences, objects).Read more

The City Ghettos of Today in Bologna
24th June- 6th July 2014

Based and active in Bologna, Cantieri Meticci is an association formed by asylum seekers, refugees, migrants and Italian citizens . Together with the association the City Ghettos of Today team’s work focused on the analysis of the existing containment facilities for migrants and refugees, and compared and contrast them to the “ghetto” facility. To gain relevant insight a series of interviews set up inside the asylum camps and dormitories with migrants who experienced the refugee camps in Africa and consequently endured detention periods in Lampedusa.
Theatre and dance workshops were an integral part of this research with the aim of experimenting with one’s own body through a variety of artistic languages and relating the experience to the constrictions imposed by these containment facilities.
Along with this work another artistic path led to the creation of “scenic machines” at Accademia di Belle Arti, a form of artistic tool devised to allow the self-expression of migrating people.
